Today is an exciting day for me! I am guest posting on Gina Luker's The Shabby Chic Cottage. She has the most wonderful 'cheap' DIY home decor and frugal living blog I have ever seen! Her photos and tutorials are stunning, her decorating style is gorgeous, and her ways to make ends meet are so creative and incredibly cheap that I am continually floored! How she ever comes up with the ideas she does, I will never know! And her house decorated in Country Cottage or Southern Decor style looks exquisite! You would never guess she is a frequenter of dollar stores and Craig's list!
This post, Livin' On a Shoestring and Lovin' It is going to really knock your socks off! I thought I was going to die before I got to share this with you! I am so excited about sharing our story of how we wordked to make ends meet while having a great time. :o) I worked long and hard on it and added lots of great photos! For anyone living on a budget, homeschooling, or raising a family, this will be "Inspiration 101". You are gonna love it!
Here's a little excerpt.....
Living on a Shoe String and Lovin' It!
We have managed to pull off two weddings, three graduations, built a 785 sq.ft. office, made scads of clothes and costumes, bought several cars (without going into debt), a horse and taken many exciting vacations...all on a shoestring! Even our house and seven acres in the country was a bargain! (Low taxes and we live about 30 minutes from town.) Add to that the kids' many activities...all done on a budget and that's a whole lot of savings!
Living on Less and Enjoying it More!
We both came from a long line of artists, musicians, DIY-ers, urban homesteaders and people who valued family and the great outdoors over anything that money can buy. So when Tim was offered a job with a prestigious company straight out of college and we found out that he would have to work 80 hours a week and sign a $9,000.00 note promising not to leave for the next five years, he promptly told them, "No thanks!"
